The People Have Spoken! The Billionaire's Beck and Call, Book 3 Results...

I'm happy to announce that because of your votes, I am officially trying something new with Book 3 in The Billionaire's Beck and Call Series!

By a whopping 77%, YOU let me know you'd love to read it as a full novel, even if it meant waiting a bit longer :).

Your wish is my command!

Tied to Him: The Billionaire's Beck and Call, Book 3 will be released as a COMPLETE novel by June 31st, 2013.

You'll be able to sit down and read it cover to cover in one go, instead of waiting for me to hurry up with the next installment ;)!

My promise to you is that this is a guaranteed deadline. You'll be able to download Tied to Him and have it steaming up your e-reader by the end of this June! Stay tuned for more details, as there will definitely be some goodies to celebrate its release.

To be perfectly honest, I was nervous about doing it all at once because I didn't want to disappoint those who enjoyed the first one as a serialized story, so I just kept it rolling with Bound to Him.

THANK YOU for letting me know what you prefer :). I strive to give you the very best, luxury romance experience, and knowing what makes you happy is invaluable to me!

So, get ready...

It's less than 6 weeks until the next sizzling hot billionaire romance from Delilah Fawkes!

You Tell Me: Beck and Call Book 3 As a Serial, Or Wait for the Full Novel?


My goal as an author has always been to provide the absolute BEST romance experience to you, my fabulous readers!

But right now I need YOUR feedback on what you'd love from me with Tied to Him: The Billionaire's Beck and Call, Book 3.

Writing it now I'm realizing that this first installment is going on way longer than usual, because to tell this story right, it needs more of a lead-up to the sweet, sweet lovin', and I hate to release a part of a story without the fun bits ;)...

So, I'm at a crossroads, and I need your help with the following question!

How Do You Want It?

A. Tied to Him as a serial, per usual, or...

B. Me to write my buns off and release the WHOLE BOOK all at once by mid-June at the latest?

Thank you so much for voting!

I aim to please, giving you the best romance experience every time, and your voice helps me do it right!

Fawkesy Lady Sex Tip Series, Part 1: Putting Stuff in Your Butt is Awesome!


This week, I'd like to bring you a mini sex tip series on Butt Stuff: The Sex Act Everyone's Curious About, but is Too Embarrassed to Ask!

Okay, so Kate Hudson's probably not thinking about anal right now... but you never know!

Part One:  Kicking Butt Sex Myths's Asses!

Myth # 1: It Always Hurts

We've all heard this, but how true is it, really? 

If you've never plugged your tertiary love hole, you've probably imagined nightmare scenarios where you writhe in virginal agony the second a penis comes anywhere near your exclusive back alley nightclub. In this mental analogy, you think of your sphincter as the scary back-door bouncer, aggressively trying to keep Mr. Penis out, because he is NOT on the VIP list. A struggle ensues and everyone ends the night embarrassed, bruised and not a little disturbed.

This is not how things should go down. 

Ever.

The key to successful backdoor lovin'? Just remember your three P's!
  • Patience
  • Preparation
  • Puttin' some lube on it!


Patience

You need patience from yourself and your partner to make sure you don't RUSH, the first time, or forever after. Patience is writing your partner's name on the VIP list, so he has an easier time getting into the A Club. Without it, you'll both be frustrated. Take your time, and make sure you're hot, ready, and relaxed.

Relaxing is the most important thing, and no one can relax while they rush! I'm pretty sure that defies physics. So take it slow, and make sure your breathing is steady, you're turned on and warm, and you trust your partner to take their time entering you.

Patience always pays off! (Well... at least when it comes to sweet, sweet anal.)


Preparation


Not only do you want to make sure your body is ready, you want to do some basic stuff so things don't go from fun to funky. BUT, there's no need to overdo it :). 

-Go to the bathroom first to make sure everything's clear. 

Some people give themselves an enema first, but I feel like that's overkill. In my eight years of having regular anal sex, I've only had one instance of a not-so-sexy mishap, and then it was just one of those things that I was mortified by, but my husband just laughed off. 

Sex is just one of those things. Gross, hilarious stuff happens once in a while, and there's nothing you can do about it. Fluids go flying, somebody farts, or your partner yells "GET OFF, GET OFF!" because their Jaegermeister is coming back up. Things happen, but they are the exception. Laugh about them when they do, and relax the rest of the time. It's all good.

If this freaks you out, though, condoms are always great. Just make sure you get one that's lubricated, or use a lubricant that won't eat through latex. Then, clean up is no problem in case of the rare mess. Whichever makes you comfortable and relaxed :).

-Stretches aren't just for hamstrings!

Either alone or with your partner, practice stretching yourself so you'll be ready when it's Business Time. This will not only help you be more relaxed because you know roughly how it will feel, but you'll be better able to accept your partner.

First gently probe at your entrance, then when you can, slip a lubricated fingertip in. When that feels comfortable, work it in and out, and focus on the sensation, relaxing as you stretch, exploring your body. Add another finger when you feel ready and repeat. 

If you're comfortable, buy a slender butt plug to practice with when you're flying solo. I own something similar to this one , and I love it. It's slim and tapered, so it's easy to get used to, sensation-wise, and can help you stretch out (as well as being a lot of fun during "Me Time!")


Puttin' Some Lube on it

Lube: Don't leave home without it! And definitely don't go there with anal play without it. 

Trust me on this. Just.... don't.

There's ALWAYS time for lube!

Lube is X factor that seals the deal on making anal enjoyable versus painful. Sure, you CAN have anal using only spit or, I don't know, dreams, for lubrication, but getting inside will be harder on both you and your partner, it will be more difficult to relax (the most important thing!), plus it can chafe you both where you least want to be chafe.

So why not slow your roll long enough to put on some delightful lube? You'd be crazy not to!

Things I recommend:

-Find a brand that's not too runny, so it stays put during lovemaking. 

I enjoy good, ol' fashioned KY for this because it comes in a gel form, so it won't run all over when you're trying to apply it. 

-Make applying it part of the fun!

Apply it to him, slathering him down his length and teasing the head (the first part that will encounter your tender flesh), and let him use a lubed finger to gently stretch you and get you ready, tantalizing you and warming up your engine while you take care of the necessaries. 


If you follow the Three P's, what happens?

You'll probably feel a little like you did right after you lost your virginity, but milder. Relax and breathe, and you might feel a stinging as your ring of muscle adjusts to having something stretching it. Have your partner wait while you adjust to the feel of them inside of you, then sloooowly have them start moving once the brief sting wears off, letting you adjust to that feeling as well.

After that, the fun really starts ;). 


Stay tuned this week for other myths being busted by your friendly, neighborhood Sexpert, Delilah Fawkes!

Delilah's Fawkesy Sex Tip of the Week: Know Thyself!

All of this *cough* research *cough* I've done for my stories has had the added benefit of making me something of a Sexpert, and I'd love to bring my knowledge straight to YOU with a sizzling sex tip each week!

If I haven't done it myself, I've probably either watched the live action version (thanks, Internet!) or researched allll the juicy details from someone who has. You're in good hands, my lovelies!

So, let the free sex tips begin!

Since it's our first time, I'll make sure to be gentle...


Fawkesy Ladies Know How They Like It.

Know yourselves, girlfriends.

As RuPaul is fond of saying, "If you don't love yourself, how the heeeell you gonna love somebody else?"

I'd listen to this bitch if I were you. She's like... 11 feet tall.

I challenge you: If you don't love yourself, how the HELL are you gonna get good lovin' from somebody else??

We've come a long way, baby, but in my talks with the women in my life over the years, I've learned something shocking:

Some of them never fly solo, or if they do, they're ashamed to truly explore their bodies!

It's a pretty well known fact at this point that most women cannot achieve orgasm from penetration alone, and that you need a little extra TLC in order to get to the promised land. Whether it's from a vibrator, manual stimulation from your partner, or touching yourself while you ride the bone rollercoaster, you need something extra to get the job done.

I've found, though, that exploring your body, letting go of shame when you're alone and allowing yourself to really play and discover new things about yourself, leads to a much more satisfying (and less frustrating!) time when you're with your partner.

For example, I used to find it hard to orgasm in certain sex positions even when I was touching myself or being touched. Why? Because I'd only masturbated lying on my back, like most women do, and when there was a change of position, I was suddenly at a loss. I had no sexual muscle memory, and it was harder to get there!

Here are my tips for getting to know yourself better:

  • Masturbate in different positions to find what works in each one. Try kneeling doggy style, or sitting up with your thighs spread like you're on top. Have fun and teach your body to cum in each different position. Get used to where you like your hands and how to get them where they're needed!
  • Try a toy! Play with some hands-free vibrators, or a couples vibrator. If you enjoy a sexy vibration, there are options that allow you to play alone, and share the fun later with your partner!
  • Touch your whole body. Each woman is different and has different erogenous zones. Suck on your finger--seriously! Sometimes having something in your mouth makes things more fun. Try pinching and rolling your nipples with one hand while you touch yourself with the other. Try touching your anus. Caress your inner thighs. Find out which parts of you feel oh-so-good and add to the experience. 
  • Don't be shy! Tell your partner what you learned about yourself. If you show them what you like, I guarantee it will spice things up when it's time to get down.
So go forth and masturbate, gals!

The more you know about yourself, the better your sex, the better your partner's self esteem, and the better your love life!



Any sexy questions you'd like discussed in the coming weeks? 

Ask your old pal Delilah via email, or post anonymously in the comments below (or not anonymously if you're totes brave and stuff)!

I'd love to share what I've learned with you and get Fawkesy together!

Update: I have officially convinced one woman to masturbate tonight.

*blows on smoking vibrator and puts it back into holster.*

My work here is done.

Relationship Tip: The Secret to Catching YOUR Alpha Male!

If you're like me, you've probably asked this question when reading your favorite romance novel:

"How the HELL are all these Plain Janes landing these rich, hot alpha males?!"

I mean, how realistic is it really?

The only women in REAL life who can attract a sexy alpha are supermodels or celebrities...

Right?

Wrong!

When I was writing The Billionaire's Beck and Call, I thought long and hard about how a regular ol' gal like Isabeau Willcox could be a realistic partner for billionaire CEO Chase Drake.

I examined the romances I loved and the ones that made me roll my eyes, and picked out the common elements, and then looked to real life for examples to back it up.

And you know what I found out?

You don't have to be Heidi Klum to catch an Alpha Male. 

You just have to be AWESOME.

Each of us has the potential to be awesome. We all have strengths and skills and interests that when developed make us so much more attractive than looks alone. When you're at your most awesome, you're at your most beautiful.

And THAT'S what makes you an amazing partner to even the sexiest man!

Okay, Delilah, you say. But I'm not awesome, I'm normal. What now, bitch?

To you, I call bullshit as politely as possible. You are absolutely awesome--you just have to find how YOU express your personal awesomeness.

Awesomeness comes in several flavors. Let's explore a few real-life examples!


1. Be Freakin' Smart

Big brains are awesome, and awesomeness is HOT!
23andme.com

The lady above is Anne Wojcicki, the woman who stole the heart of Google co-founder and billionaire, Sergey Brin.

So what's so awesome about Anne?

She's really freakin' smart. 

Anne is a biotech analyst that co-founded a website called 23andme that provides rapid DNA testing. She also holds degrees from Yale and Stanford.

Pretty damn awesome, if you ask me! 

Isabeau Willcox took this path to awesomeness in The Billionaire's Beck and Call, finding out throughout the series that even though she didn't have formal training, she was whip-smart in business and an asset to the sexy Mr. Drake. 

That head on her shoulders ain't just a hat rack!


2. Be Freakin' Funny

What's the fastest way to a man's heart?  A sharp kitchen knife!

*rimshot*

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.



The lady on super hunk and celebrity alpha male, Eric Bana's arm, is his wife, is none other than Rebecca Gleeson, an Australian publicist and Regular Jane.

So why is she awesome enough to see this every morning when she wakes up? 


He insists on wearing the greaves to bed...
She's freakin' funny.

Eric said that Rebecca's been making him laugh for 15 years. And not just giggling, either, but some serious, side-stitch-inducing laughter. Girlfriend means business.

Got to love someone who's incredibly fun to be around, day in and day out. A great sense of humor is a gift, and it definitely makes you glow with inner sex appeal.

I loved writing Lucy Willcox in Bound to Him: The Billionaire's Beck and Call, Book 2 because she's a total goofball and a little spitfire to boot. You never know what's going to come out of Lucy's mouth, a trait which definitely caught billionaire Maxwell Pierce's eye in the series.

Laugh and the world wants to bone you!


3.  Be Freakin' Involved



Being involved in a charitable cause and helping mankind isn't just good, it's AWESOME! A big heart is sexy indeed, as is a gal who's passionate and takes initiative to make the world a better place.

Meet Flavia Sampaio, long-term girlfriend of the richest man in Brazil, Eike Batista.

So why Flavia? Okay, sure, she's gorgeous, but I'm pretty sure you can throw a stick and hit five supermodels in Brazil, so there must be more...

She's really freakin' involved.

Flavia is a lawyer specializing in social work for the poor in her country.

Someone who is passionate about helping others is objectively awesome, and that's objectively sexy. 

Eike Batista has power and money to be with any woman in the world, but he's with Flavia because she's freakin' AWESOME!

I am taking this road to awesomeness with the heroine of my new romance series, Tied to Him: The Billionaire's Beck and Call, Book 3: Rose Turner. She's a former foster kid now deeply involved in serving the homeless kids in her community.

A big heart beats a boob job any day of the week!


Think about what makes YOU awesome, and work on that talent, that passion, or that trait that makes you special.

I've watched the movie Pretty Woman more times than is probably healthy, and the final scene sums up my point very well. Skip to minute 5:00 and go from there...



Alpha Male: "So, like... what happens after I climb up this pidgeon-crap-covered fire escape and save you?"


Awesome Heroine: "I save you right back. Duh. I mean, I am freaking awesome."

And they lived happily ever after.



My husband and I are partners, equals, and even though he's sexy and smart and funny, I save him right back every day by being just as awesome. 

What do you bring to the table? What makes YOU awesome and an irresistible, can't-live-without partner?

When you find that gem within yourself, the world is your oyster. You are special, worthy of a hot love affair with an equally special man, and By Gawd, he won't be able to tear himself away.

Save him right back, and he'll be yours forever.


***

So these are the kinds of posts I've been wanting to bring you forever, and I'm thrilled to have the patience to finally do it! 

Tell me, what do you think makes an awesome partner? What do you cherish in the people who save YOU? 

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

More Blogging, More Love!

Hey, my sexy readers!

These past couple of weeks I've been thinking a lot about doing what I've always wanted with this blog: bringing YOU more romance, more sexy fun, and most importantly, getting to know you better each day.

So why the heck haven't I been doing it?

Welp... it's a long story, but the short version is, I just realized I have ADHD! Turns out, most writers and creative types do.

Go figure.

(The crazy eyes in the writer pin up over here are all too accurate...)

But the beautiful thing about knowing is that now I'm working on the troublesome bits (not blogging, being disorganized, and releasing stories later than I promise), and harnessing the good (having an awesome, fast, sexy brain!).

Yes, Delilah's on drugs to help her focus, and she doesn't care who knows it!

But the part that's awesome for YOU, my darling readers is that you can not only expect more consistency from me in terms of accurate release dates (Thank God, Delilah. I Mean, Seriously...) BUT now I am going to bring you more.

More what, you ask?

MORE LOVE! MORE FUN! MORE SEXY BITS for your everyday life!

But in order to do it, I need some help from you!

I want to hear YOUR love stories! 

Yep, that's right. I want to hear your anecdotes about the loves of your life, whether it's that little thing your partner does that always gives you the warm-and-fuzzies, or something you do for someone else, I want to hear about it.

Each week I want to feature one of YOUR real life love stories, so please email me at Delilah Fawkes at Gmail dot com if you've got a tale to share.

The thing that makes this job so special is learning more about you and bringing you those moments in your day where you can lean back, sigh, and remember that love exists and happily ever afters happen every day.

So share your happilies with me, and add to the love!

What made you feel loved this week? Share in the comments below!

More coming soon on this blog, so stay tuned...
